Kimpurushas were not only lion-headed
editIn Srimad Bhagavatam 11.16.29 Hanuman is called a Kimpurusha (see also Vettam Mani Puranic Encyclopedia page 411). But he is not lion-headed but a monkee. Because in the Ramayana the monkees are mentioned together with bears it is obvious that the Kimpurushas are mixed of humans and features of animals (compare Kimpurusha, the son of Agnidhra in Puranic Encyclopedia page 411). According to Mahabharata 1.66.8 the Kimpurushas were the Offspring of Pulaha Prajapati (see also Puranic Encyclopedia page 412), who according to Vayu Purana 2.6.5 was one of the Jayas, the generation of gods before the deityas (who were themselves the genration of gods before the devas) and a member of the second part of sons of Brahma.--2003:F5:F718:CF00:F0B3:A399:1357:7CD3 (talk) 16:08, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
